I think this should be a part of informed consent. All they cared about was making sure I knew I wouldn’t be able to have children. They spent hours pushing patriarchal nonsense at me, and no time going over the biological ramifications of the surgery. I’ve had to learn as I go.

The minerals eliminated in the second round of the #MinCup25 #minerals #sciart

💎 Never forget the ones who have fallen too soon 🥲 #MinCup25 #minerals #sciart

Amtrak cops are taking video in bathrooms? At urinals? Who's supposed to be the creeps here... "The officer showed a Gothamist reporter a screenshot from body-worn camera footage showing two men groping each other while standing at the urinals before they were arrested."

Since #hematite won its quarterfinal, if we can also get #tugtupite through we have the potential of a blood rock final match.

The Thursday games this week have me all discombobulated Here's What to Watch victorypress.org/2025/09/25/n... and How to Watch victorypress.org/2025/09/25/n... for this week!

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

Yes And I love being able to call up a glue company and talk to their engineers. Not the best part of my old job but def up there

“There is no such thing as a natural disaster, just natural hazards that impact vulnerable communities and infrastructure,” Bohon said. “We can't stop natural hazards, but we can [decrease our vulnerability] reducing the possibility of a disaster." www.desertsun.com/story/news/n...

This is CRAZY.

Team Green you know what to do #cuprosklodowskite #MinCup

If you have a hashtag with multiple words, write the hashtag in #PascalCase or #camelCase to help users of screen readers. That helps the screen reader to read out the words out individually, rather than trying to read them in one long word.

Look. It's not rocket science. People interpret the first statement as "Abolish the police" and the second as "Cut its budget". Yes, I know that's what "defund the police" means. The median voter doesn't. Transgressive political slogans move the overton window. They also confuse normies.

I once watched a pelican land next to a seagull, hang around for a minute, look over and eat the sucker It was disturbing

Oh no the construction equipment rapture is apparently ahead of schedule

Happy #bisexualawarenessweek! In 8th century Iraq, Abu Nuwas wrote love poetry to both men and women. This wasn’t unusual - the idea that someone could be attracted to multiple genders was widely acknowledged at the time! #bihistory #biweek

GUESS WHAT WEEK IT IS

If you feel earthquake shaking or receive an earthquake alert you should drop down to the ground, take cover under a sturdy object, and hold on until all the shaking has stopped. www.shakeout.org/california/d...

Went to a volunteer thing with the UU group. Telling a new friend "yeah I haven't been to church in a while" I'm interrupted "oh I go to UU so it's not church in the traditional sense and I believe..." Yes. I know half the people here. At a UU event. I meant I haven't attended *this* church 😂

Chemistry explained

Please go forth and tell some artists, photographers, writers and other creative people that you love what they do! #birds #SciArt 🌿

If I really really want something to happen like sports game winner or getting a job or something where I've done all I can do, I can't talk about it lest I curse it to not happen And I don't walk under ladders but I think that's mostly because I feel like they could fall on me

Prices are as low as they are gonna get. 😁

Yesterday I got my flu shot! Part of vaccination is getting your adult boosters 👍 If you haven't gotten tetanus in the last ten years, it's time for that one too (Tdap is it's government name)

Tugtupite is so pretty when it’s polished too. Looks like preserved cherry blossoms 🌸

Both minerals are worthy, but I'll be voting for BLOOD ROCK BLOOD ROCK BLOOD ROCKBLOOD ROCK BLOOD ROCK #tugtupite

Voted yet? Both of these are so very, very weird in the best ways. For the strategic voters, the winner will face off against #perovskite next round.

I found this birding book along the side of the road on the Tamiami trail in the Everglades on 8/25/25. It is so well loved with sightings going back decades. If you're a birder (I am not) please spread the word and hep me find the owner so they can be reunited

Went out this morning for River Sweep, a big cleanup effort every year. I did a good thing for the environment and my community. I met new humans and interacted with them. I even exchanged contact info with one to connect with a different group Now it's noon I'm ready to go back to bed 😴

I can’t help it. The grackles are still here, and need to be photographed 🤣 The male Common Grackles usually take every opportunity to display, especially in the spring! But it’s Fall, and this male was displaying a lot! Apparently, he knows what he looks like🤣 #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

My voice is still the same, the content has changed because of who's here. I went to Twitter for women's hockey. The community here is different, the vibes are different, so my feed is a lot lower proportion woho. Tho I do share birds with some folks I met thru woho...

Music over the grocery store overhead is stuff that would have gotten adults to assume you're a pothead in the most derogatory way possible...

QUILTS. 😳😍

This one is simple. I supported it in #MinCup24 & am on board once again for Borg cube #Perovskite. It has me at “found in the rain in brown dwarf stars,” thrills me with “in volcanic fumaroles” & seals the deal with “in pipes rocketing from mantle to crust.” Be cubular. Vote Perovskite. #MinCup25

If you're considering RSVPing to a demonstration to protest the regime that is currently asserting it's about to crack down on "leftist groups" I encourage you to just not fucking do that. Go to the protest, yes. Put your name on a list, absolutely the fuck not.

Every single time a form of UBI is implemented, it is successful.

Timeline cleanse. Please enjoy a minute of rain drops hitting the water in the water bowl in slow motion. Constructive and destructive interference waves. Audio normal speed though camera was quite waterlogged during our monsoon rains/storms last night.

Y'all remember pre Obamacare? I had the best insurance in town and it didn't pay for vaccinations. Our GM went on a little rant in a meeting once how going to the health department to get childhood shots wasn't a big deal

Bi folks, you can be perceived this week! This was a fun episode. Let's be honest I love most of the episodes and really like the rest

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.

#TeamGreen vote #paddlewheelite for #MinCup25

Last match for #MinCup25 Round 1! Tomorrow, established campaigns and festering grudges come in to play.

Women's college hockey starts this week (!!)

Come on #TeamClay go vote for #nontronite

This episode has a slightly different flavor and I love it. The couple notes about the fan club were eerily familiar 😂

Tried a new place to canoe. While it is technically a river, I've been in lakes with more current. Good birds, tho it's in 3 counties so less than ideal for ebird or listing... I think we'll probably go back (Ramp was busy when we got back tho)

I’m always just delighted when I get to use my absolute favorite community science site. Such a well made tool! fireball.amsmeteors.org/members/imo/...

Difficult choice, but my vote goes to #cuprosklodowskite because: 1. It is a proper Lick-And-Die mineral. 2. Together with Joliotite, it is part of unique (as far as I know) set of minerals named after mother and daughter. P.S. I was a bit disappointed that #ikaite was not named after ika = squid

Giving people opportunities to save face is *huge* (and honestly I think ND people could benefit from doing it with each other more, since society doesn't give us many chances to in day-to-day life)
